Creation Has a Purpose
Says Allah did not create the heavens and earth without purpose, and will not treat believers like those who spread corruption. The Qur'an is a blessed Book revealed so people reflect on its verses.
Iblis Refuses to Bow
Allah creates a human from clay and orders the angels to bow; Iblis refuses, claiming he is better. Expelled, he vows to mislead people except Allah's chosen servants. The surah ends calling the Qur'an a reminder to the worlds.
Hearts Opened and Hearts Hardened

Be Patient and Glorify Your Lord
Recalls destroyed generations and says Allah created the heavens and earth in six days without tiring. Tells the Prophet ﷺ to be patient, glorify Allah morning and night, and remind with the Qur'an before the Day of Emergence.
Questions That Silence the Deniers
Tells the Prophet ﷺ he is no soothsayer, madman or poet. Asks the deniers a series of questions: did they create themselves or the heavens, do they hold Allah's treasures, or have another god?
The Most Merciful Taught the Qur'an

Every Soul Has a Guardian

Recite in the Name of Your Lord
Commands reciting in the name of the Lord who created man and taught by the pen. Warns the arrogant man who stops a servant from praying, and says not to obey him but to prostrate and draw near.
